He appears perfectly resigned to his fate, and only regrsts that the wound he inflicted on his owa throat has not re• suited fatally, so that he might have been buried in the same grave as his murdered wife. He complains bitterly of John Steele—the man of whom he was jealous—and looks upon him as the author of all his misery.

The principal markets held on Saturday were but mode• rately supplied with wheat, in which only a limited busi ness was transacted on rather lower terms. B %Hey and oats, as well as beans and peas, commanded full prices, with a fair inquiry. The flour trade was somewhat heavy. On the continent, wheat continues to move off slowly, but all other kinds of produce have commanded more attention. The shipments of wheat and flour from America continue on a full average scale. The arrivals of home-grown produce up to our market last week were very moderate. From abroad we reeeived 22,696 qrs of wheat, 1,705 barley, 7,726 oats, 1,000 rye, 20 beans, 50 tares, 2,621 linseed, 10,574 rapeseed, 3,456 maze, 10 sundry seeds, 50 sacks and 7,866 barrels of flour. Fresh up to our market to-day, coastwise and by land carriage, the arrivals of old Euglish wheat were small. The supply of new home-grown wheat on the stands was but moderate ; the quality of the produce was, for the most part, goo 1, and the condition excellent. The quality of the red wheats especially wore very good. Notwithstand ing, however, that the show of samples on sale was by no means extensive, the trade for all qualities was very drill. Compared with Monday last, a decline of ls. per quarter took place in the value of last year'eproduce, and new wheats could only be disposed of at a reduction in price of fully similar extent.

American, per barrel Vs 25s METROPOLITAN CATTLE. There was a large supply of foreign stock on offer here to-day. The beasts were mostly in poor condition; but the quality of the sheep and calves was good. The arrival of beasts fresh up from our own grazing dis tricts were seasonably extensive. The general quality of the supply, however, was by no means prime. From Ire land and Scotland the receipts were limited. Good and prime breeds commanded a steady sale, at full quotations. Otherwise, the beef trade ruled heavy, and, in some in stances, the quotations had a drooping tendency. Other wise the beef trade ruled heavy, and in some instances the quotations had a drooping tendency. A few prime Scots realised 5s per 81bs; but the general top price was 4s 10d per Elba. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire we received about 2,70 G shorthorns and crosses; from other parts of England 900 various breeds, from Scotland 40 Scots and crosses, and from Ireland 10 oxen and heifers. We were fairly supplied with sheer as to number; but most breeds were in middling conditiod, Prime Downs, half-breds, Bco., moved off steadily at full cur. - encies. In ferior breeds were dull, and rather cheaper. Tts, 9 highest quotation was 5s 4d per Sibs. Inferior lambs were very dull, at low prices.

SERIOUS CHARGE OF ROBBERY AGAINST A MATCH MAKER.—John Thresher, a matchmaker, living at 13, High-row, Knightsbridge, was charged with breaking into the shop of Mr Marconi, a confectioner in High-row, and stealing soma copper money. Cczur Berantha, a man in the service of the prosecutor, who has several confectionary shops, said that he lett the one at 13, High-row, Knightsbridge, at a quarter to one this morning, and was shortly afterwards informed that a light had been afterwards seen in the shop, and that a man had been there. Witness went with a policeman and there found that 2s 10d in copper money had been taken from the till, and prisoner afterwards admitted his guilt. Mr Dayman—How could any one get in ? Witness —By false keys. There wera no marks of violence. Police-constable 65 B said he saw the foreman of the shop leave at a quarter to one this morning, and a few minutes afterwards observecla light in the shop. He looked through a crevice in the shutters, and saw the prisoner with a oandle in his hand in the shop. Witness gave informa tion to the prosecutor, and pointed prisoner out. He ad mitted his guilt, and produced the false keys by which he had entered the shop, and told where he had concealed the money. Mr Smyth, solioitor, entreated the magistrate to dispose of the case himself for the larceny. Ile said he had been re tained for the accused, but felt there was no withetar ding the evidence that had been adduced. It was a most de plorable and unaccountable case. The prisoner was a highly respectable man in a good way of business, and there seemed to be no reason for the robbery. Prisoner received an excellent character.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. TAE SERIOUS ASSAULT ON A LICENSED VICTUALLER. —Cornelius Foley, an Irishman, charged with violently assaulting Mr Henry Busby, of the Grapes Tavern, St. Martin's-lane, was again brought before Mr Tyrwhitt. Mr Busby, who was unable on the last occasion to attend the court, owing to the injuries he had received, a certificate being put in to that effect signed by Dr Fon ning, o f was Ho a s t p e ital that he wa s com p e ll e d t o give , Was now in attendance, but Charing-crossia Sucha w eak at his evidence seated. p i Mr Busby said that on Saturday week the prisoner came into his house in the afternoon and annoyed the customers, and threatened his wife. He put the prisoner out, and the prisoner, after spitting in his face, said " You —, I'll do for you and all the house." About 20 minutes to 12 t:29 same night the prisoner came in again, and began quer o u before l oaenr beer r ai n ,: with some persons in front of the bar, when he pre vented 11,:n3 continuing it, and put him o u t.

He fell, but was caught in the arms of a person and tu.ken to Charing-cross Hospital, but had been attended to since at home. The blow took effect on his nose, which was seriowly injured, and he was still very ill, having lost a great deal of blood—nearly three quarts. The doctor from Charing-orosi Hospital was in daily attendance upon him. In answer to a question, Mr Busby said he aid not see the prisoner when he threw the bottle at him. Edward Chapman, potman to Mr Busby, said that on the night of Saturday week he was about closing the house, when he saw the prisoner outside. Hearing the prisoner make use of a threat, his attention was drawn to him, and he saw the prisoner take a ginger-beer bottle from behind his back and tilrow it with great force at Mr Busby, striking him on the nose. A police constable being on the spot the prisoner was at once taken into custody. The barman at Mr BuAy's said he saw the prisoner outside the house at the time the bottle struck Mr Busby, but could not say who threw it, he being alongside Mr Busby housei n the t b h a a r t a h t e t w h o e u t d m d e 0 . f o T e h th e e rr t i w so o n , m er e s a ad n i iug befo i r r e ß he ue l h e y f t a t u h d e witness, and came to the house with a soda-water bottle as well as a ginger-beer bottle, the soda-water bottle being picked up afterwards. Some other evidence having been given the prisoner was committed for trial to the Central Criminal Court. THE OWNER WANTED FOR SOME PLATE, &o,—John Jenkins, described as a coppersmith, was charged before Mr Tyrwhitt with being in possession of a quantity of spoons and forks and two large table cloths supposed to be stolen. James Deayton, 29 F, saw the prisoner last night in Great White Lion-street with a bundle under his arm, and suspecting him asked what he had in it. The prisoner made no reply, and Deayton then took the bundle from him an d examined it, when he f oun d it to contain 14 forks and the prisoner re r—somemsairlviteerd a T nd .

DESTROYING A LIST op 80101101 VOTERS.—WiIIia.7I Smith, a boy, was brought before Mr Paget, charged with destroying a list of voters, and aesaulting John Croncher, assistant beadle of the parish of All Saints, Poplar. Croncher stated that in consequence of the lists of voters on the church and Chapel d oors b e i ng re peatedly torn down, he was directed by the ov erseers an d v estry clerk to look after them. a S n a d tur s d i: y night, a bout nine o'clock, he saw er theth other boys in aly s the High-street, Poplar. They stopped Opposite the Bethel Church, where a list of borough voters was affixed to the door. A boy tore the lower part of the printed li s t, an d the prisoner made a spr i n g and tore the lists right across . He seized two of the a boys, the pri soner an d another, and they made a violent a tt a ck upon him.

These are questions which require grave consi deration and free ventilation. Many persons expe• rienced in the money market Ere inclined to think that both questions must be answered in the affir mative—and yet the custom of taking money at call has prevailed so long, that to abolish it at once would masion some important changes in our financial arrangements. On the other hand, if it were abolished, the probability is that we should avoid many of the changes in the value of money which are constantly taking place. • Let us, however, before going further, endeavour to understand clearly what is meant by " money at call." All the balances held by bankers, and be longing to their customers, may be broadly re garded (apart from express stipulations to the con trary) as in some cases money at call, because the banker is bound to honour his customer's cheque to the extent of his balance. But a banker, from ob servation, gets to know the amount of the ordinary balance which his customer keeps in his hands, anl therefore by hoAing a certain average amount in reserve he can safely employ the remainder of his balances for his own advantage. This is ordi nary banking business. We see by the weekly accounts of the Bank of England that it is the custom of that establishment to keep at least one third of its balancee, or banking liabilities, in re serve, and when this reserve is more or less than the third, the bank, as a rule, raises or lowers the rate of discount. But these ordinary banking balances ere not, in the common acceptances of the phrase, " money at call,"which consists for the most part of money taken by the banks and discount houses in deposit, with interest allowed thereon, the depositors of the money being themselves uncertain as to when they will require it, and the establishments who take it has. ing the power, at pleasure, either of returning it or of lowering the rate of interest allowed on it. This is the sort of financing which, in our opinion, con tributes to the constant fluctuation in the value of money. Now, the Bank of England does not deal in this sort of money at all. It neither takes nor lends money " at call." The practice, therefore, of taking money at call, be it for good or for evil, cannot be charged upon the Bank of England. The custom is confined to private joint-stock banks, and to the discount firms and companies. We question very much, however, whether private bankers take much money at call, although they certainly lend it on those terms to the discount establishments, and pos sibly to some of the joint-stock banks. But there can be no doubt that the onus of the practice lies chiefly at the doors of the discount houses and companies. _ _ _ It is, of course, very agreeable to large holders of money to be able to place it out quickly for em ployment at good rates of interest, with the power of recalling it and with good security for it. It is questionable, however—and this is a point of no small importance—whether in nine instances out of ten any security is' given for money at call beyond mere deposit notes. This free and easy manner of dealing with money constitues at once its conveni ence and its danger, and certainly contributes to render the money market unsteady in times of pres sure. We believe that if security were taken, as it ought to be, in every •transaction, the custom of taking money at call would be in no small degree checked, and we are sure that it is sound advice to recommend those who lend money at call to take security. _ Fora real remedy to the evils arising out of the present system we must of course go deeper than this. We confess to a belief that if the discount establishments would refuse to take money at less than seven days' notice, the dangers involved in the present system would be greatly diminished, and the money market be rendered much steadier than it is. The time is certainly ripe for the dicussion of the question.—Money Market Review. British Archaeological Association. IPSWICH, Saturday. Yesterday afternoon the members of the associa tion, to the number of about 130, paid a visit to the president, Mr Geo. Tomline, M,P., at Orwell Park. On their arrival they inspected the fine, though not large, collection of paintings, which includes works of Murillo, Cuyp, Van der Velde, Wouvermans, Van dyck, Gainsborough, and other eminent artiste. The beautiful view from the park in front of the mansion was duly admired; the Orwell, admitted to be a most lovely river, forms the south. western boundary of the park, and with wood and water nature has made Orwell Park one of the prettiest seats in Suffolk, After passing an hour or two in the grounds dinner was announced, and the large party sat down to a sumptuous repast, which having been concluded, Mr PETTIGREW proposed "The Health of their President, Mr. Tomline," thanking him for the great assistance he had rendered the association during the congress, and alse for the magnificent manner in which he had entertained them that day. (Cheers.) Mr TOMLINE briefly responded, expressing the pleasure he experienced in welcoming them to his residence, and concluded by proposing " The Ladies." Soon after the party returned to Ipswich, and met in the evening at the new assembly rooms, where a very interest ing temporary museum of antiquarian curiosities, contri buted by gentlemen in the neighbourhood, had been .:rranged. Here a conversazione was held, the chair being taire.7 by the president. Mr p i :TTIGREW read a letter from Durham inviting the association 1;.:1 hold its congress for 1865 in that city, and stating that the corporation, the university, and the dean and chapter would co-operate. He pointed out the inte resting nature of the neighbourhood of Durham to the archaoologist, and prepesea that the invitation be accepted, and that the next congress be ;:eld at that city. Mr PHILLIPS seconded the motion, observing that Durham, lying so near the Scottish. border, abounded in old castles and objects of interest. The Rev. J. C. HA.RTSRORNE cordially supported the proposition, which was oarried Unanimously. Mr GOnDON HILLS then read a paper upon the round towers of churches in Ireland. The PRESIDENT said he had now to move that the thanks of the association should be given to numerous gentlemen who had assisted in rendering the congress now about to be closed so successful. He proposed a vote of thanks to the Mayor and Corporation of Ipswich (cheers), to the Yen. Lord A. Hervey, and the clergy of the diocese (applau.ae) ; to two sister societies —The Suffolk Archasological Institut° and the Archaeological Society of Essex; to the vice pre sidents and officers of this conference ; to the local secre taries (1r R.

THOMAS DE QIIINCSY.--Thomas de Quincey, in his autobiographical sketches, records the fact of his having, at the age of 15, gained a certain public distinction —to wit, a prize for a copy of English verses. Three prizes were given, of which De Quincey's was he bthe third. lie describes with am usin g egotism, how ecame,or the first time in his life, s&mething of a " lion," and ha s tates that all his frien ds, excepting his mother, assured him that his velsers ought to have stood the first. H o adds, that from what he could recollect of the verses after the lapse of 50 years, it was his opinion that although they might les perhaps less finished ;than the others, they were superior in the structure of the metre, and in the choice of expressions. And he launches out into o remar ks upon the eoi-disant poets of the day, and reasons why he has declined to take his place among them. It may be worth preserving among the minor literary memoranda of that period, that each of De Quincey's rivals in this competition became, like himself, in due course of time, men of no' e. The first was J. H. Leigh Hunt, and the second one of our most distinguished topographers, George Ormerod, D.C.L , F.R.S. The prizes were of f ered by the publishers of a long forgotten periodical, called the Monthly Preceptor, and the verses were a translation of the " Integer vita)" of Horace. It may be added that the translations themselves are found in the Monthly Preceptor of the date, and that whil th e ey are highly creditable to b o ys of lb, the composition of the now venerable historian of Cheshire is by no means inferior to either of the other two.—.rotes am? Queries, 228 t The Death of a Guardsman at the Willibi edon Rifle Meeting, This morning, Mr 'W. Carter, the ooroner for Eas t lurrey, resumed the inquiry at the Rose and Crown, Nor '.13.

Tne September Sessions of the Central Criminal Court commenced this morning at the Sessions House, Old Bailey, before the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, W. Lawrence, Esq.; Alderman Challis, the Common Sergeant, T. Chambers, Esq., Q.C. Deputy Recorder; Alderman rhillips, Alder man J. W. Lawrence, the Sheriffi, H. H. Nissen, Esq., and Thomas Cave, Esq. ; the Under Sheriffs, Messrs Ni cholson and Gammon, and other civic authorities. The calendar contains a list of 102 prisoners for trial, of which 1 is for murder, 1 attempting to murder; shooting at feloniously with intent, 1; wounding feloniously, 6 ; manslaughter, 4; sending threatening letters, 2; forgery, 3 ; burglary, 14 ; 12 uttering counterfeit coin. The other cases are of the ordinary character. The Grand Jury having been sworn, The Common Sergeant proceeded to deliver his charge, and remarked that although the calendar did not contain a longer list than usual, ho regretted to say that the details of some of the cases presented very melancholy appearances, there were no less than five cases involving loss of life, one only of them amounted to murder, the others were charges of manslaughter, and in one form or other there were no less then 23 cases involving violence to the person, which was very much to be regretted. The jury no doubt were acquainted with their dirties, and it would not be necessary'for him to address them at any length. There was the case of murder, in which a woman named Hartley, alias Bowen, was charged with the murder of her infant male child. It appeared that the prisoner had given birth to the child in a workhouse, She left with the child, which was at that time in perfect health. She was afterwards seen to go into the parlour of a publichouse with a paper parcel and to leave the house without it. This attracted attention, and on the waiter searching the room, the paper parcel was found stuck up the chimney, and on taking it out, on search ing was found to contain the body of a child. It Was : J cad, but warm ; and on a medical gentleman being called in, on examination he found marks of recent suffocation producing death, and if the jury were satisfied, on the evidence, that there was a prima facie case against the prisoner, it would be their duty to return a true bill for murder; and then, supposing there: was any ground for reducing the offence, that could be inquired into on the trial before the petit jury. There was another charge of a very distressing and painful character, in which a woman named Mary Blake was charged with the manslaughter of two of her children by starvation—one an infant, and the other a child about three years old. It appeared she and her children and three others last received in and out door relief from the workhouse. She left, and afterwards placed the children in a miserable room, and was in the habit of leaving them there, going out in the morning and returning late at night. Sometimes staying out all night, and going in in the morning. The children attracted the attention of some of the lodgers, and on going into the room they found the chil dren in a frightful emaciated state, without food, and covered with vermin. The children were taken to the workhouse. The prisoner was no doubt responsible for the death of the the infant, as it was her duty to have furnished it with the necessary nourishment, and if it died from that cause, and from her wilful neglect, she was guilty of manslaughter. As to the other child, a diffi culty might arise as to whether the prisoner was a married woman or note If she was, the husband would be respon sible and liable to punishment. As it was his duty to have provided for the child, there was no doubt the prisoner bad been receiving in and out-door relief for two years, and had abandoned her children to take up with another man, and she could have gone to the pariah and obtained relief ; in• stead of that the left the children starving. If they were satisfied that the death of the second was occasioned by the ptisoner's neglect she was responsible, and it would be the duty of the jury to return true b ills.in both cases. The Common Sergeant having referred briefly to some of the other cases dismissed the jury to their duties, and in the course of the morning several true bills brought in. A Bailie before his Peers. At the Bathgate Police-court, on Wednesday, Mr James Lamb, a junior bailie, was tried before BEiilies Johnston for causing an obstruction on the public street by exposing goods or merchandise. The proceedings, as reported in the Glasgow Herald, were rather novel. On being called upon to plead, Bailie Lamb said—Before I plead, I request your honours to remove that little dog ; it's a nuisance"—(referring to a little dog which, although not the procurator-final's, is in the habit of following him). Their henours saw no necessity for removing the obstruc tion. Bailie Lamb, however, thought proper to give the dog a hearty kick, to the disgust of all present. The Procurator-Fiscal—Your honours, I do think such conduct is highly reprehensible on the part of Bailie Lamb to ill-use that dog as he has done, although it is not mine. If Bailie Lamb is very anxious to kick all the dogs out of the room, I think your honours would be justified in kicking out all the lambs. (Laughter.) Bailie Lamb, however, pleaded not guilty, and wished the case to go to proof. He had three objections to the relevancy of the libel-Ist. This case has arisn at the instance of the procurator-fiscal, and we have no procu rator-fiscal. 2d I am not charged for any crime, and might just as well have been accused of manslaughter, as the summons did not set forth any particular charge. 3d. The summons has been signed only by one bsilio, and one evidently void of common sense. (Great sensation.) The little dog again approached Mr Lamb, with the evident intention of being friendly, but only received another kick, amid a round of hisses. The Procurator-Fiscal—Your honours, seeing the ani mus of Bailie Lamb against the dog, I think he is no man at all ; and in the manner he has insulted your honours so grossly, renders himself liable to imprisonment for con tempt of court. Bailie Lamb—l entirely object to the procurator-fiscal pursuing this case. We have no procurator-fiscal ;Mr Gardner can't hold two offices. The Procurator-Fiscal —The highest legal opinion has been got on this point, and I can both be councilor and procurator fiscal. Bailie Lamb—l deny it. Really, your honours, I can't speak if the clerk makes such wry faces ; he puts me off the summons altogether. (Laughter.) The Clerk—Your honours, this is utterly contemptible. Am I under the protection of the court 2 If so, I won't stand such language. Bailie Lamb—l see, Bailie Johnson, you are paying no attention to me. Tho Clerk—Your honours, bas Bailie Lamb pleaded guilty of not guilty ? Bailie Lamb—ls that a' the length ye'r ? I pleaded not guilty. Now, no faces, clerk I The Clerk—l really can't stand this; it is perfectly dis graceful. Bailie Lamb—Go oils Mr Gardner, and lead your proof. Peter Waugh was then sworn and examined, and sub stantiated the charge. Bailie Lamb—l object to that man as a witness—he is not sober—he is drunk. _ _ Waugh—When you can prove it, I'm drunk. Lamb—ls he on oath ? Bailie.Johnson—He is. Bailie i i ,nb—Better administer it again. T he p rocura :or-Fiscal—You, Bailie Lamb, are degrad ing yourself before the whole community. You have no respect for your supeviors, and less for yourself. John Arther, burgh pfficer and town crier, was next called as a witness. Bailie Lamb—l object to c.Jock " being a witness—he is ten times worse than the prt.vious one. He is never sober night nor day; and I won't b;lieve he is sober now unless he goes through the ordeal, and stands three mi nutes on one leg. (Hisses.) The Procnrator-Fiscal—lt strikes me, if any one is drunk, Bailie Lamb is . Bailie Lamb — Now , clerk, no f aces to me The Clerk—Your honours, will you allow me to be in sulted ? Bailie Johnston—We can't allow this, an d must call you to order, Bailie Lamb. [The clerk turns his back to Bailie L amb .] The Fiscal then addressed the court, craving a convic tion, commenting strongly on Bailie Lamb's proceedings, the gross nonsense he had spoken, the annoyance he had given the court, and the ridicule he had attempted to bring cn the presiding bailie& Bailie Lamb thought the fiscal too harsh. If they wanted to remove nuisances, it Would be well for Mr Stewart, of the Commercial Hotel, to try and prevent the " bus" (re ferring to Bailie Robertson's bus, which goes to the rail way station to await the trains) from causing such a noise on the street. The ma gistrates, after consultation, found the case fully proved, and being the first offence, fined Bailie Lamb in 20s. No expenses. Bailie Lomb gave notice of appeal. SECOND EDITION.

The first race on the opening day was the Ladies' Plate. Nemo, who came with an improved reputation, was made a warm favourite ; but, after taking his preliminary canter, his "washy" style of going gave heart to his opponents, and some heavy shots were fired against him at 5 to 2 when the flag was lowered. The spirit of those thus standing the field against the crack was, as usual, rewarded with " first blood," as the favourite, who exhibited much fractiousness at the post, ran with great unkindness throughout, and was easily disposed of by the neglected Queen of Crystal (late Cuttie Queen), who won without an effort by a couple of lengths. The Staffordshire Nursery Handicap produced nine runners out of the thirty entered, Contract, a neat, good looking filly, by Stockwell out of Fandango— who was much fancied by her owner and friends for the New Stakes at Ascot, for which event she was made second fa vourite to Liddington, but failed to obtain a situation—was again intrusted with the patronage of her clever owner, whose opinion was speedily endorsed by the talent, and in consequence she left off with the call off the field , and the issue was never in doubt, as, coming away at the distance, she landed the odds and the stake without the slightest difficulty, by a brace of lengths from Sympathy, who ap peared none the better for her easy defeat by Hope, at Lewes. A quartette only could be induced to sport silk for the Patshnll Stakes, with 100 soya added, which number, however, was an improvement upon last year. 'The Clown, from the form so recently exhibited by him, was at the opening of the betting all the rage, but towards the close, Ltifra, with Fordham up, came into notice, and (Jr some time so near a thing was it considered between the pair that no thing else found favour. The finish of the race—one of the closest "shaves" seen for some time justified the fondness shown by the partisans of each, and exhibited fine horse manship on the part of both Custance and " the Demon," the former just screwing the last ounce out of the Merry man on the post, and snatching the judge's fiat by the shortest of heads. With the exception of Nemo the four teen on the card were coloured for the Wolverhampton Stakes, which, on this occasion was brought forward to strengthen the card for the opening day, but as was anti cipated, Dollar frightened the remnant of those accepting from the field, which at last resolved itself to half a dozen only, three less than last year. The betting, if so it could be called, was centered in the "Frenchman," and for some days antecedent be was backed at evens against the field, and in the City on Monday odds were freely invested upon his chance. The result, however, was one of those occasional turns up that have recently favoured the ring, as Oldminster. with 111 b. more than last year, and receivingbut 31b from the favourite, lay in front throughout and landed the odds for the second year with extreme ease amid the enthusiastic cheering of the public,with whom his straightforward trainer appears to be a general favourite. The attendance of general company here on the " Cup day" is usually much larger than on the first day of the meeting, and on the present day there was no appearance of a falling off. The stand and enclosure gave, however, evidence of the departure of many of the principal patrons of the meeting; but the rlag mustered in its usual force, the majority of them leaving for Reading by the evening trains. The card contained the same number of items as its predecessor. The first, the Stamford Biennial, was set down. for L3O, to suit the convenience of those journeying south wards.,Baragah having arrived during the morning, put to flight the majority of those intending to run, and bat three moderate animals were found bold enough to try con clusions with him. 3to 1 was freely laid upon his chance. The race was never in doubt, as Lord Zetland (receiving 71b) was in difficulties a quarter of a mile from home, and Ashmall, waiting to the stand, won without an effort. Im mediately after the race 1,100 to 100 was taken about the St. Leger. Those who took my advice six weeks ago, when he was at 30 to I, will have no reason to regret their in vestments,as they can now hedge their money at 8 to 1. No doubt the horse will see even a much shorter price before the eventful day arrives. The Chillington Stakes, from the fact of Victorious being on the course,waa shorn of its fair proportions. The Grappler and Trumpeter, a moderate brute from Cliff's stable, being his only adversaries. The betting, as might have been expected with suck form to oppose him, settled down to 8 to 1 , and i n same instan ces as much as 10 to 1 was laid on Mr Ho d g man's colt. The Shig_ nall stable, however, made no secret of their colt% see i n g hie number side by side with th at of chance, and took 10 0 to 12 freel y about him, and they were rewarded The by latter it appears came prepared for a wa lk Victorious. running N,itla astonishing game over, not having been set over night or plated, and the race being run at a "clinking" pace the favourite was in diffi culties i w i n y an u a p ;ed ba t t o , save his owner's money by making by Revolver, mainly through the n cu es lt s i , e b s e ha jus a dead heat of it. After the Cleveland Cup—which was favourite, Colonel C c o le lo v n e e r l ly Crockett, bolting —the deciding heat for the Chillington was run off. Victorious on this occasion was ridden with spur, and proved himself the better animal of the two, although the finish was too near and prolonged to be pleasant to those standing the issue, as he only just got home a neck in advance after a most liberal supply of steel. Prescription, without an effort, disposed of the three animals opposed to him in the Borough Members' Plate. The Wrottesley Stakes followed and attracted four to the post. Dawdle, from the money she was entrusted with was speedily elevated to the premiership in the betting, The confidence of her backers was rewarded by the very hollow manner in which she distributed her field. Her sale placed 125 soya. to the credit of the fund. The day's sport was brought to a satisfactory conclusion with the Holyeake Stakes, for whi , sh the Lady Evelyn colt was an immense "pot," and he won as he pleased. The Eghatn and Oxford Meetings take place this week. The King John Stakes (run for at E,ghare) has Lemonade and Antimacassar amongst the entries, one of which ought o furnish the winner. The Runnymede Stakes should be I won by Peon and the Scurry Sweepstakes by Lord of the alanor.
